IQP Advising Interests
My research interests are in environmental policy and philosophy, particularly energy policy and the pursuit of sustainability. Research themes include assessing the politics of energy policy across multiple geographic scales (state, local and international), carbon emissions analysis, electrical power sector restructuring, and the management and manipulation of scientific uncertainty in the production of environmental knowledge and environmental policy. I am planning new research initiatives along these lines in connection with starting a WPI Project Center in Cape Town, South Africa in Fall, 2007.
